Project 365 Photo-a-Day Challenge

TuesdayI sincerely tried four times to make it to the gym today. Unfortunately, my life had other plans, so the closest I made it to my daily workout was looking at my class schedule.

Wednesday It’s easy for me to wish the sun shone longer during the winter hours, because sometimes I never see it except through my office window. But today I was reminded what a blessing it can be to have these winter-sun hours. If the sun hadn’t already set before I left work, I wouldn’t have been able to behold this magnificent scene on my drive home.

ThursdayA friend of mine is taking the GRE this weekend. (The exam is required for admission to graduate school.) To help her feel prepared, I made her a “thinking” cap and a “GRE whiz” shirt. Sure, she can’t actually wear them during the test, but hey, everyone can use a little encouragement before such a big exam.

FridayAfter years of wanting a monitor that didn’t fill my entire desktop, I finally have an LCD monitor. The best part is that it was free (a hand-me-down).

SaturdayOne of my best friends is having a baby soon. Today I got to peruse her gift registry to find the perfect items for her new arrival.

SundayI stayed up late to read a book. I started at 10:30 p.m., and this photo shows my oh-so-early finishing time (2:10 a.m.—the “5:10” numbers are just a reflection on my nightstand). It was pitch black when I went to bed. And no, I don’t make it a habit of staying up that late/early.
